Children are naturally curious and have a built-in desire to learn first-hand about the world around them. Here 3 families explain why they've chosen unschooling or self-directed learning.
We discovered this whole movement called unschooling. We realised all our lives had been centred around the school schedule. Suddenly we were no longer confined.
Unschooling is mindfulness in action, accepting whatever comes, without judgement, finding the meaning in things as they unfold, and not reacting from a place of fear.
For some parents, unschooling might be the best chance at achieving an education for their children that fosters self-direction, self-growth and interested learned adults as an end product.
